Remember The First Day
Chasing Shadows of a Lost Love: Remembering the First Day
Lyrics
Well I remember the first day
Reflecting on the initial day or moment.
It was so close to the end of May
Specific time frame close to the end of May.
It's when I finally opened my eyes
Realization or awakening.
I saw the sun for the first time
Seeing positivity or a new beginning.
Oh and it lied in the form of a beautiful girl
The girl is visually appealing but deceptive.
Who would take me on the ride of my life
Embarking on a significant life experience with the girl.
And it's just something that I've been dying to know
Curious about a crucial piece of information.
Well where did you go?
Questioning the whereabouts of someone.
Cause I've been waiting here so long
Expressing impatience and longing.
You know that I've been reading your notes
Being attentive to written messages.
They always hinted towards the fact that you were coming home
Notes suggesting the person's return.
And as I struggle with this reality
Struggling with the harsh reality of loss.
That this is all that's left of me
Feeling diminished, incomplete.
Half of my heart, my mind, and my body are gone
Significant portions of self are missing.
We were side by side in the same town
Being close geographically or emotionally.
And when I finally opened my mouth
Speaking honestly and spontaneously.
The right words just flew out
Uttering the right words with ease.
Oh it was such an amazing sound
A positive and beautiful exchange.
When I got the courage to tell you
Gaining courage to express feelings.
You're a beautiful girl
Reiterating the girl's beauty.
And I want you by my side, and in my life
Desiring companionship.
Cause it's just something that I've been dying to know
Reiterating the desire for knowledge.
Well where did you go?
Repeating the question about the person's location.
Cause I've been waiting here so long
Continued impatience and waiting.
You know that I've been reading your notes
Remaining engaged with written messages.
They always hinted to the fact that you were coming home
Notes consistently suggesting the person's return.
And as I struggle with this reality
Struggling with the harsh reality persists.
That this is all that's left of me
Emphasizing the extent of personal loss.
Half of my heart, my mind, and my body are gone
Continued sense of incompleteness.
So let's go back down to the bank of that river where
Suggesting a return to a significant place.
We can dive right in
Symbolic act of diving into the past or memories.
And forget about the worries from the world outside
Focusing on the present moment, letting go of worries.
Cause you know my world, my world's not over
Asserting personal resilience with an angelic presence.
Because I have an angel on my shoulder
[Empty line, no specific meaning]
So where did you go? Cause I've been waiting here so long
Patience wearing thin with continued waiting.
You know that I've been reading your notes
Perseverance in paying attention to messages.
They always hinted towards the fact that you were coming home
Consistent hope from notes about the person's return.
And as I struggle with this reality
Persistent struggle with the reality of loss.
That this is all that's left of me
Reiteration of personal diminishment.
Half of my heart, my mind and my body are gone
Continued sense of incomplete self.
